How do I insert a non-breaking hyphen into an iupac name?












5














IUPAC by default linebreaks at hyphens.



From the chemmacros v5.8b manual:




The character - inserts a small space before the hyphen and removes a small space after it. Also usually words with hyphens are only allowed to break at the hyphen. Inside iupac the hyphen will not prevent further hyphenation. The amount of inserted space can be customized.




Is there a way to prevent this? For example, in iupac{2-alkenyl-1-alkynylbenzenes} I don't want a line break after the initial 2.



(Contrived) example of the problem:



documentclass[letterpaper]{article}

usepackage[left= 10 cm, right=5 cm]{geometry}



usepackage{chemmacros}



begin{document}

    Gold-catalyzed (4+3)-annulations of iupac{2-alkenyl-1-alkynylbenzenes} with anthranils with alkyne-dependent chemoselectivity: skeletal rearrangement versus non-rearrangement

end{document}

                    An IMO inspired problem

                    Image
                    14 4 This problem from IMO 1988 is said to be one of the most elegant ones in functional equations. Problem : The function $f$ is defined on the set of all positive integers as follows: begin{align} f(1) = 1, f(3) &= 3, f(2n) = f(n), \ f(4n+1) &= 2f(2n+1) - f(n), \ f(4n+3) &= 3 f(2n+1) - 2f(n) end{align} Find the number of $n$ with $f(n) = n, 1 leq n leq 1988$. The main idea towards the solution is realizing that these conditions stand for the fact that $f(n)$ just reverses the digits in the binary representation of the number $n$. So, essentially the solution is finding the number of binary pallindromes $leq 1988_{10}$. My question is the following : How to reformulate the problem so that $f(n)$ reverses the digits of $n$ in its ternary representation. Or even better, can we reformulate it for a

                    Has there ever been an instance of an active nuclear power plant within or near a war zone?

                    Image
                    36 3 The question Has there ever been a military combat going on around an active (running or in outage but not decommissioned) commercial nuclear power plant? Or dangerously near it? If yes, how did the plant and its personnel fare in such situation? Why I ask Let's assume for the scope of this question modern commercial nuclear power plants (CANDU, PWR, BWR of generation II plus all of gen III and newer) are usually reasonably safe to operate given that the engineering has been done right and there is a whole cohort of very well trained personnel on-site at all times, well rested and with considerable resources on their hands. Things hard to get with an armed conflict like the recent Syrian war raging around. I can't seem to find any reference or a comprehensive article about this, hence this question.
